Getting a good night’s sleep

By Dr. Sonja Stiller, Center for Advanced Vein Care

Although “vein care” is positioned prominently in the name of our practice, our entire staff focuses on the overall health of our patients. After all, staying safe means staying healthy.

This holistic approach includes reducing inflammation and improving your overall cardiovascular function, but it also includes everything from diet and exercise to a good night’s sleep.

Proper sleep improves your health in many ways, including supporting your immune system and helping you deal with stress. Conversely, poor sleep can open you up to a host of health issues.

Leg cramps, numbness, tingling and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) can prevent a good night’s sleep, and each of these symptoms can be related to poor venous health, including varicose veins. Lifestyle—such as food choices and activity levels—can also affect your sleep. That’s why during our free evaluations, we speak one-on-one with you about your specific concerns, above and beyond varicose veins. Our goal is to help keep you safe by keeping you healthy—and that stems from our commitment to your overall health.

Give us a call now for your free evaluation, especially if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• chronic leg pain
• fatigue
• itching
• burning
• inflammation
• Restless Leg Syndrome
• leg cramps
• swelling
